Toe stock market to-day was very dull except
for few speciaties. The street was treated TO
a number of rumors more or less vague, of a
conflicting character but none of them had
much effect in the present narrowness OF
speculation. The conspicuous weak spots were
New England, Fort Worth and Denver and
Richmond Terminal. dealings in the latter again

was dull but firm, with most stocks at or near
the best prices reached. The general list is,
with but few exceptions, higher tonight though
the only important gains are Canadian Pacific
